It's the majority of the governorships.
It's the House.
It's the Senate.
It's the Presidency.
It's a majority of the vote.
It's a mandate.
BTTT
It's the United States Supreme Court baby!
BUMP!
And Terry, don't forget to take little puff with you . . .
The extreme left of the DNC won't survive this, they won't be able to run anyone this far to left for a long time.
They'll have to move right.
Bring 'em on...we've got some Clinton wackos at the federal district level, but the Ohio Supreme Court and the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati have Republican majorities. Additionally, our Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and the state attorney general have their legal teams ready to move, plus hundreds of GOP hired legal guns. This is not Florida 2000; any legal challenge will be short-lived. If the Dims want to get legally b--ch slapped, tell them to come to Ohio. We'll be happy to chew up some more of the Heinz trust fund. Ironic, isn't it? The Dims are relying on Republican money (in part) to preserve Frenchie's fading Presidential hopes...
You got it! :-D
You go Buckeyes!
Hand them their arses.
VIVA BUSH!
VIVA BUSH!!!!
yep, that's it in a NUTSHELL! we won, they lost. everything. : )

Comparison of 2000 v 2004
How many elections does MacAulliffe get to lose and still keep his job? If he were a coach of a professional ball team he would have been out of there years ago.
How is it whenever I think of "The Curse of the Shrummy" I also think of Lenin's Tomb?
And yet, they came within a handful of electoral votes of actually making this a race. That should give us pause. It's not just the Dim party that has vacated America, but they and the MSM have brought almost half the country along with 'em. That is troublesome is it not?
From what I've been able to determine, it took a heavy turnout by conservatives to overcome the socialist machine this time. Maybe future elections will see even larger turnouts by conservatives or defections from the dark side? I wouldn't bet my life on it.
For an interesting scenario, consider what the outcome would have been if a more "moderate" candidate had run under the Dim banner instead of the Bolshevik offered? We knew what Kerry was and were apparently able to get the word out about him over the best efforts of the MSM dreamers. The guy gives Lenin a good name.
So, we should celebrate our victory but prepare to attack the enemy where he lives as "W" would say. IMHO, the Ministry of Information is our most formidable adversary. They hide behind the first amendment as they incessantly throw stink bombs at our republic. They create the environment necessary for everything else to work. Hot on their heels is the public school system. They are filling our kids heads with feel-good mush that actually better prepares them for work on the plantation than critical thinking.
Just the beginning...

As it *usually* is, with a few exceptions over the past 50 years my friend.
For example, they "won" in '60, in '76 and again in '92; BUT, they lost all the other times, eh?
"That should give us pause."
Yes, it should.
If for no other reason than to thank our creator for seeing us through this one more time.
"It's not just the Dim party that has vacated America, but they and the MSM have brought almost half the country along with 'em. That is troublesome is it not?"
It's both troublesome *&* heartening.
Think of the awsome forces the Liberal-Socialist *machine* brought to bear against this nation, culminating with yesterday's vote & today's *result*.
They lost, and they lost BIG.
"From what I've been able to determine, it took a heavy turnout by conservatives to overcome the socialist machine this time."
For crying out loud my friend it takes large conservative turnouts to beat-back the leftist assholes *every* time.
I mean witness the disaster of '96, for example?
The nation stayed home & voted their stock portfolio thereby *permitting* that thieving sexual pervert to run amok selling everything in sight that wasn't tied down.
That 8 year reign [of terror] meant THIS POTUS had to spend an immense amount of time trying to clean up the mess and put the pieces back together; nevermind, our beloved republic being mercilessly attacked by a handful of bloodthirsty maniacs requiring the POTUS to react, immediately, with resources that were also decimated by that Bent SOB.
"Maybe future elections will see even larger turnouts by conservatives or defections from the dark side? I wouldn't bet my life on it."
I would, & I'm a bettin' man. {~ain't that right, Mud?}
Point is, we're on the mend, have come far, and are destined to go even farther.
I'm convinced if the nation can survive this, we can deal with a lot more than the leftist misfits will ever be able to throw against us.
"For an interesting scenario, consider what the outcome would have been if a more "moderate" candidate had run under the Dim banner instead of the Bolshevik offered?"
Geeeee FGS, this slickster was pretty *smooth* to have got as far as he did.
But people saw through his smoke & made their choice.
Accept that, OK?
We'll fight again, and again, and again...
"We knew what Kerry was and were apparently able to get the word out about him over the best efforts of the MSM dreamers. The guy gives Lenin a good name."
Yea he does, doesn't he. {g}
But Lenin's remembered & sKerry's been religatred to the ashbin of history.
Not only that, but there'll be no more "Hienz" anything in my home, ever. :o)
"So, we should celebrate our victory but prepare to attack the enemy where he lives as "W" would say. IMHO, the Ministry of Information is our most formidable adversary.

AMEN BROTHER!!!
Let us bask in our glory, today, and always remember that all glory's fleeting.
"Just the beginning..."
Uh-huh.
Look, I'm [really] not tring to blow my own horn when I ask you to remember what I'd said to the inner circle at the CCRM when the question of how long our fight aganst the quisling mediots would last?
All this is a never ending fight.
And BTW Mr.C, it's been my pleasure *&* honor.
...to have fought along side a class act like you. ;^)
You jogged my memory. Recall the little short guy from Texas? Threw a monkey wrench into the works, not once, but twice. But it goes to my point. Kerry is a card carrying, no class, unapologetic Bolshevik. He outpolled Bent Willie! I may not be making my point very clearly. I'm still a little bummed by how close a call this was.
And BTW Mr.C, it's been my pleasure *&* honor.
>...to have fought along side a class act like you. ;^)
You are most gracious my friend. The feeling is mutual I assure you.
The battle continues...

WHO'S YOUR DADDY!!
As is the case with most of you, I will personally continue to work in every way possible to reclaim our republics greatness (that is always, always a given). But, with that said please bear with me here. I will be repeating things I have said over the past few weeks, but I truly believe they desperately need repetition. I am not attempting to rain on anyones parade, but I simply want us all to put this election in its proper perspective.
There are those (many here on this forum) who claim that the advent of the internet has lessened the power of the biased mainstream media, and that, as a result, the average American citizen will more and more have access to, and embrace, the truth.
For the last three weeks, I (and thousands of others across this country) put most of my other personal responsibilities on hold and hit the streets in an attempt to get a feel for what the American electorate (at least here in Pennsylvania) was thinking, and to educate those who did not seem to comprehend the scope or content of the issues. Although the receptiveness of those with whom I spoke was deeply gratifying, I was equally discouraged by the overpowering amount of citizen ignorance, and the willingness to swallow whole anything that is wrapped in a glib, attractively-wrapped formatted package.
I used to say that the apathy and ignorance of the American citizenry can only increase because:
(1) the upcoming generations will become ever further removed from a knowledge of, and respect for, their glorious historic roots, and will become less and less able to perform effective critical thinking, what with the increasingly leftist-bent in what passes for American public education and the overpowering Marxist influence in what passes for American institutions of higher education. Combine those two prominent mind-molding factors with the fact that each succeeding generation of American parents abdicates to outside influences (primarily the education establishment in particular, and government in general) more and more of their parental responsibility to direct their young childs path, and the future American electorate promises to be more left-leaning with each year.
(2) No one conservative or leftist is making a serious effort to stem the massive numbers of illegal immigrants who are streaming across our borders.
And then there's the media (thats all that needs to be said on this forum)...
Other than through Divine intervention, I also used to believe that the one thing that would open the eyes of the American electorate would be a major national tragedy it would cause America to stop worshipping affluence and reveling in ignorance, and start recognizing that we must become more informed and collectively focused on the historically unprecedented threats against our lives and liberties that exist in this world.
Nothing has occurred to stem the persistent degradation that (1) and (2) above continue to cause. But we have experienced the kind of major national tragedy that should have awakened the populace and should have marked at least the beginning of a turnaround in our collective ignorance and apathy. It happened on September 11, 20001.
It has been three years since that tragic, watershed event. In those three years, our President has responded to the terrorists of the world with strength, wisdom, and qualities of wartime leadership that elevate him, in true historical standards, far above that which many of us had expected him capable. He has faced-down, or hunted-down, countless madmen and disarmed countless others.
I am not attempting to take the sweet taste of victory out of our mouths (far from it). But, over the next four years, we need to remember, and constantly reflect on, the following:
Yesterday a man who, his entire public life, has demonstrated unmistakable allegiance to Marxist doctrine, who places his own political ambitions, and the leftist political agenda, above the lives, liberties and reputations of the American people (and genuine American war heroes, in particular), who bears an allegiance to global entities and would be entirely willing to place Americas safety and sovereignty in their hands, came within three percentage points of assuming the reins in Washington.
Although he did not, someone like him soon will. Because a loud and deadly warning shot penetrated our ship of state three years ago, we have chosen to effectively ignore it, and the generation that follows will be even harder of hearing.
Considering the completely diametrical resumes (in terms of faith, honesty, character, and allegiance to this country) of the two presidential contenders, and the historically unprecedented precarious state of the world, the closeness of todays election no matter the outcome is terribly, terribly ominous.
I am probably one of only a handful (if that) of FReepers who is not unequivocally celebrating the relatively narrow Bush victory. To me, it is also a sad commentary on the myopia of the American electorate and will simply postpone the inevitable.
Yes, we have good reason to celebrate the fact that, barring media fabrication of an impeachable offense, we can enjoy four more years of effective national leadership, where the war on terror (the most important issue of our, or any, time) is concerned. We also have a President in office who will nominate conservative judges to the Supreme Court and a senate that will most likely confirm them (provided the head of the Judiciary Committee, the dishonorable Arlen Specter, is not successful in scuttling those nominations). I see both of the above as reasons to heave an enormous sigh of relief.
But, in the results of todays election, we have simply dodged a bullet.
The media, and mainstream academia, have no doubt already begun planning their assaults on this lame duck administration. Every American death in Iraq or Afghanistan will be laid on this Presidents shoulders. Every lost job, and every minor downturn in the economy, will be magnified beyond recognition. The fact that all Americans do not enjoy government-provided healthcare will be painted as a heartless failure of this administrations policies. When the next terrorist attack is successful, the administration will be portrayed with more blood on its hands than the terrorists who committed the atrocity (and the many terrorist activities that will surely be thwarted by our military/intelligence forces will go relatively unreported). People suffering from debilitating or terminal illnesses will be trotted out as evidence that the Presidents refusal to federally fund stem cell research renders him incapable of leading a compassionate society ... and on and on, ad infinitum.
And all of the above (and more) will serve the singular purpose of seeing to it that a (female) Marxist (this time, from New York) obtains the White House in 2008.
By 2008, apathy, ignorance, and self-absorbed special interest, will be proportionately higher-represented in the American electorate. More educationally indoctrinated young people, and aliens (many, although not all, of whom have no concept of the proud heritage of this republic), will be casting a vote for a candidate who seems to commiserate with their left-leaning indoctrination, or self-serving social/economic leanings.
Reflecting on the relative closeness of Tuesdays race, the only thing that can prevent a Clinton victory in 2008 is an increase in voter awareness of, and education about, the truth of the issues and the candidates stands on them.
Each of us needs to decide how optimistic we are now about that occurring, and what dramatic changes would be needed in order to bring it about.
I am not an inveterate pessimist. Not by a long shot. In spite of the medias hatred of Ronald Reagan, I spent the eight Reagan years walking six inches off the ground. I thought that America had not only dodged a bullet, but that we were well on the way to winning the war.
But those were very different times because the electorate was still capable of sufficient critical thought to see between the lines of media and academic smokescreens, and because Ronald Reagan was Ronald Reagan.
We have our work cut out for us. And, believe me, just like most of you, I intend to work every bit as hard as I ever have to awaken the sleeping. I simply believe that we cannot rest on our laurels as a result of this close election. Those laurels are thin, fragile and under constant attack, and must be defended daily by patriots who place realism above perceived successes, whose enemies are forever scheming to take them from us.
(No response necessary. But, if you must, please use flames. Feathers would render me allergically unable to respond. :)
